The Surgical Gowns are single use, disposable medical devices, provided sterile.

Device Description

The proposed device Surgical Gown is model 40083, its body, sleeve and belt are made of SSMMS non-woven material, and cuff is made of cotton. The proposed device is available in XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL sizes. This proposed device can meet the requirements for Level 3 per ANSI/AAMI PB70:2012. The proposed devices are disposable medical devices and provided in sterile and blue color.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA regarding a Surgical Gown. It evaluates the device's substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. The information provided is primarily focused on the physical and barrier performance characteristics of the surgical gown, not an AI/Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) product.

Therefore, most of the requested information regarding AI/SaMD performance criteria, such as "number of experts used to establish ground truth," "adjudication method," "MRMC study," "standalone algorithm performance," and "training set details," is not applicable to this submission.

However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the surgical gown's acceptance criteria and the studies proving it meets those criteria:


Device: Surgical Gown (Model 40083)
Intended Use: To be worn by operating room personnel during surgical procedures to protect surgical patients and operating room personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. It meets AAMI Level 3 barrier protection.

Details Regarding the Study:

  1. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Seam Strength, Breaking Strength, Tear Strength: "Average result from 30 samples" for each test.
    • Lint and other generation: "Average result from 6 samples."
    • Water Penetration Resistance, Static Hydrostatic Resistance, EO/ECH Residual, Cytotoxicity, Irritation, Sensitization, Flammability: The specific number of samples for these tests is not explicitly stated as "X samples" in the provided text, but the results are reported as "PASS," indicating that the required sample sizes for the respective standards were met.
    • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the testing data (e.g., in-house testing by the manufacturer's lab in China, or third-party labs). The submission is from Ammex-Weida (Hubei) Health and Safety Products Co., Ltd in China. All studies described are non-clinical, laboratory-based tests. They are not categorized as retrospective or prospective clinical studies.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not applicable. This is not an AI/SaMD product requiring expert-derived ground truth for diagnostic accuracy. The "ground truth" here is defined by the objective physical and chemical standards and their corresponding test methods (e.g., AATCC, ASTM, ISO).
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable. This is not an AI/SaMD product. The results are from standardized laboratory tests.
  4. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

    • Not applicable. This is not an AI/SaMD product.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Not applicable. This is not an AI/SaMD product.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by internationally recognized industry standards and test methods (e.g., ANSI/AAMI PB70:2012 for barrier performance, ASTM for material strength, ISO for biocompatibility, etc.). These standards define the quantitative and qualitative acceptance criteria for the device's physical safety and performance.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable, as this is not an AI/SaMD product that requires a training set.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable, as this is not an AI/SaMD product that requires a training set.

Dear Jarvis Wu:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

H. Summary of Clinical Test

No clinical study is included in this submission.

I. Conclusion

The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the subject device proposed in this 510(k) is safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device under K231510.

§ 878.4040 Surgical apparel.

(a)
Identification. Surgical apparel are devices that are intended to be worn by operating room personnel during surgical procedures to protect both the surgical patient and the operating room personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. Examples include surgical caps, hoods, masks, gowns, operating room shoes and shoe covers, and isolation masks and gowns. Surgical suits and dresses, commonly known as scrub suits, are excluded.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for surgical gowns and surgical masks. A surgical N95 respirator or N95 filtering facepiece respirator is not exempt if it is intended to prevent specific diseases or infections, or it is labeled or otherwise represented as filtering surgical smoke or plumes, filtering specific amounts of viruses or bacteria, reducing the amount of and/or killing viruses, bacteria, or fungi, or affecting allergenicity, or it contains coating technologies unrelated to filtration (e.g., to reduce and or kill microorganisms). Surgical N95 respirators and N95 filtering facepiece respirators are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9, and the following conditions for exemption:(i) The user contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(ii) Analysis and nonclinical testing must:
(A) Characterize flammability and be demonstrated to be appropriate for the intended environment of use; and
(B) Demonstrate the ability of the device to resist penetration by fluids, such as blood and body fluids, at a velocity consistent with the intended use of the device.
(iii) NIOSH approved under its regulation.
(2) Class I (general controls) for surgical apparel other than surgical gowns and surgical masks. The class I device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9.
